The meeting of “Lofty” Blomfleld and Leo Narberes In the Theatre Royal on Thursday evening should provide Waikato enthusiasts with a fine introduction to the local wrestling season. It promises to be a match full of action from the opening gong. When the pair met for the first time at Auckland on Monday they provided patrons with a thrilling entertainment in which the New Zealander defeated Narberes by two straight falls to one. The American secured the opening fall which came in the third round per medium of a punishing short-arm scissors, Blomfleld evening in the fifth session with a boston crab and taking the bout with a further submission fall from a similar hold in the following round. Narberes, who is a pupil of Ad Sentel, is a thick and nuggety wrestler and a match for the best. He Is anxious to even the score and will have Blomfleld doing his best to-morrow evening. He turns the scale at 1-lst 101 b. ■Blomfleld (lGst) recently returned from a successful tour of America and is a much Improved wrestler 'to when he was here last.
